Still, no limp home capabiity? I'm not averse to flying something
that you need to consider a potential glider at any moment (anteeks)
but this seems to me to be just stupid.

I think you are fixating on the Diamond twin application of the
Thielert, and not other applications.


Nope, a singel engine installation would be even worse in my view.

I seem to recall reading that one Thielert single engine plane had a
backup battery and essential buss that was capable of running it for
about an hour. I don't remember which one that was.


I'm sure you can, but I've often flown singles in situations where that
wasn't anything like enough.


I believe the twin engine that crashed was made so one engine's
battery could back-up the other side. The problem was that he took
off with both batteries crapped out. When you lose a battery in the
air, you are supposed to land, and you sure should not be taking off.

I understand that. I understand it completely. I stil think it's poor
design.
